Verse
G# C# G#
Come hear the story of Bart McGee,
D#
Inyo County deputy 1873
C# G# Fm
Chavez gang was running wild, raising hell
G# D# G#
Bart tracked 'em but things did not go well
Fm G#
Them bandits circled 'round and they caught him unaware
Fm D#
Took him to their hideout, tied him to a chair
Fm G#
They spent the night talking 'bout the things they could do
D# G#
To Bart McGee before they got through
Fm G#
Maybe they would skin him or drag him from a horse
Fm D#
Maybe they would hang him, they might shoot him of course
Fm G#
Bart just sat there as if he hadn't heard,
D# G#
Through it all he never said a word
[Verse 2]
G# C# G#
Yeah this was desert country, all sagebrush and wind
D#
Beyond the Saline Valley, where hopes run mighty thin
C# G# Fm
Them bandits drank their whiskey and just outside the door
G# D# G#
Was a bronco mule they'd stole the day before.
Fm G#
Them bandits roped that mule and they tied to the shack
Fm D#
Stripped ol' Bart naked and they stuck him on its back
Fm G#
And they turned him around 'til he was pointed East
D# G#
And they tied his legs together underneath
Fm G#
They untied that mule and they slapped it on the rear
Fm D#
It went crackin' through the sagebrush like a wild deer
Fm G#
They kept Bart's horse, his saddle and his guns
D# G#
And they figure Bart McGee's days were done.
[Verse 3]
G# C# G#
Well that mule tried to buck him off, and through the choya danced
D#
Bart knew that stayin' with him, was his only chance
C# G# Fm
Ol' Bart had fought the Paiute and he'd killed a grizzly bear
G# D# G#
And he could ride anything with hair
Fm G#
Well the sun burnt his naked butt and the wind chapped him dry
Fm D#
And he broiled like bacon, underneath that desert sky
Fm G#
He'd slap that mule upside the head to turn him left or right
D# G#
It was handlin' good when the moon come up that night
Fm G#
He made fifty miles, it ended none too soon
Fm D#
He topped the hill at Cerro Gordo that next afternoon
Fm G#
The drunks outside the Gem Saloon could not believe their eyes
D# G#
When a naked man on a mule trotted by.
[Verse 4]
G# C# G#
We all asked what happened, Bart never said a word
D#
He yanked out the cactus thorns, put ointment on his burns.
C# G# Fm
And he bought a horse and rifle and set out on his way
G# D# G#
But what he meant to do he wouldn't say
Fm G#
F week went by without a word and we all feared the worst
Fm D#
Had them bandits got him, had he died of thirst?
Fm G#
Finally he come ridin' back leadin' his old horse
D# G#
And he also had his hat and guns of course
Fm G#
And the robbin' and killin' all came to an end.
Fm D#
Not one of that Chavez gang was ever seen again.
Fm G#
We asked Bart about it, and when we'd asked enough
D# G#
He said "I just went back and got my stuff"
[Refrain]
G# C# G#
Come hear the story of Bart McGee
D#
Inyo County deputy 1873
C# G# Fm
And you know he kept that mule for the rest of its life
G# D# G#
And he treated it better than some men treat their wives
Fm G# Fm D# Fm G# D# G#
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, a a huh, uh huh, ohh ho oh oh, oh ohho oh oh
